Black vst screen in Sonar

[Jazzguy]

I am having a problem in Sonar. Scalar 2.0 was working fine last week, now I get a black screen. I have rebooted the PC, updated to Scalar 2.1, rescanned plugins, and updated the Scalar settings file.

So far I have no change. It doesn’t run.

Hey @stube40 here is what you can try to get rid of this black screen issue: Disable OpenGL in Scaler: Navigate to following folder: Windows : C:\Users\ username \AppData\Roaming\Plugin Boutique\Scaler2 In the same folder open the file “Scaler2.settings” with a text editor Either update or add the line: <VALUE name=“openGLRendering” val=“0”/> Launch Scaler 2 and check if you can see the interface

Hi @Jazzguy,

You can disable OpenGLRendering from the ScalerSettings application.

• MacOS:
  • Press CMD+Space to open the Spotlight Search and type “ ScalerSettings ”
• Windows:
  • Press the Windows key to open the search and type “ ScalerSettings ”

Go to the Help page and click “Turn OFF OpenGL”:

Thanks so much, that worked! For some reason, adding the line of code manually to the settings file didn’t work.
